A new municipal court judge, a preview of the second ward council contest, a renewal for Blanchard Valley, and a bevy of school levys across the county. The 2009 election does not have many contested races, but with the actions of the last few months by city and county administrators, it feels like 2009 is just a prelude to the next two years of elections.
With not much to vote for, the most interesting thing about tomorrow may be whether the enthusiasm from last November will carry over to this election. The board of elections is predicting that only 25% of registered voters will be going to the polls, but once again, I have faith that the people of Findlay and Hancock County are really going to come out tomorrow and beat that number.
Even if you do not feel like it, please get out to vote tomorrow. Our democratic process of electing leaders and then the transfer of power and responsibility from one person to another is one of the truly great things our government has sustained. It is a shame that so few people accept this opportunity for what it is: the right to have your voice heard.
Get Out To Vote!
